  • Should I Do Anything About My Preschooler's Nervous Habits?

    QUESTION

    Dear Dr. Laura,

    My 3½-year-old son has begun demonstrating some strange speech behavior. It started with "blowing". I should start by saying that he has lately become obsessive about not stepping on cracks (in sidewalks, on tile floors) and has consistently avoided doing this for about 3 months now.
